A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!

I hate the Jeep “Whole Again” spot!

I know a lot of people are going to really fucking hate me for
saying this… But I really do not like the Jeep “Whole Again” Super Bowl
spot… Yeah that’s right, I don’t fucking like it, I hate it… Why? ‘Cos it is a gratuitous, nakedly commercial use of people in the service of this country who are dying,
being maimed and getting totally fucked up on our behalf, to sell bloody cars. Why can't Jeep take
the millions of dollars this piece of shit cost and donate it to the
rehabilitation services these truly noble people will need (and the government will sweep under the rug) when they come back from
places you can’t even find on the map. Better yet, stop waving flags and tying
yellow ribbons around trees… If you really care about this, get off your arse, enlist and go to Afghanistan. All this basking in the reflected glory of others makes me so mad. Oh, and incidentally,
does anyone know if Oprah did the voice over for free? Yeah... Right!
